Brennan Johnson

[wassy04]

Johnson is the weak link.

Every time the balls goes near him, he either runs away from it....it bounces off him.....he gets tackled easily........or some other way of losing the ball.

A lot of people can see it very clearly.

A lot of people are also blinded like Cooper and think that keep playing him will suddenly make him better - whereas what he needs is to be benched and kicked up the ass..........like his stint in League 1.

He is not cutting it.......he is poor defensively and others nothing in terms of holding the ball up..........and in the current time he needs to be dropped and we get a stronger ball holding/passing midfield in place.

If we do not..........expect Brighton to run rings around us tonight and it will be another 90 minutes of chasing shadows.........

At some point even an idiot realises doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result will not work.

Not just him is all I'm saying. Our defence has been shocking JOHNSONS FAULT. Midfielders can't string 2 passes together JOHNSONS FAULT and please don't call me an idiot because I bet I know more about Forest than you realise. All I'm saying is HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THATS BEEN A LET DOWN. If you're going to say drop a player then be consistant with other players as well. Ok so if he gets dropped and we still get beat by 2/3 or 4 goals who are you going to blame then ???

Virtually very other player in the side has been dropped this season as Cooper grapples with the task of trying to find his best combination. But Brennan remains. Why? I cant understand it. Apart from 2 solitary shots that he scored from (one being a penalty), Johnson's contribution to the season has been absolutely zilch. He's not having any shots on goal, hes not putting crosses in, he's not covering the defenders, he's not beating defenders anymore, hes not being an adequate out ball for the defenders.  Other players have come in and made some kind of impression  (not much but they've shown a little bit of something) but there's been nothing from BJ and he's still in the side. 

Hes not the reason the team are at the bottom of the league but he's not contributing anything at all to the cause. We all know he's a lad with a big future but he's not up to scratch at the moment. We have Dennis fit now and so have another option. Him up front with Awoniyi Id like to see. And bringing BJ's pace on at 70 mins would be a formidable weapon.

I absolutely agree with nearly all that Pap but again hes a young lad with still alot to learn and playing in the Premiership is a different beast to the Championship but I get annoyed when just one young lad is getting blamed for everything from us being at the bottom of the table to the cost of living crisis and the war in the Ukraine.

MGW has yet to be dropped either, started every game since he's been available.
